Sun visors on my 2006 Nissan Murano fall down when I go over rough pavement or dips. I push them back in place, and as I am driving they start working their way to the down position.

We also had the drivers side sun visor of 2006 Nissan Murano drops down unexpectedly while driving, my daughter almost had an accident in orlando, FL where is she is a student!!!. This is a safety hazard and is extremely startling to the driver when it drops down and impairs vision. Also it can drop 2-3 times within a 2 mile stretch of highway. It will not stay in it's upright position. We also took the vehicle in to a Nissan dealership in here in tampa, FL and was told that Nissan would not repair or replace the defective visor because it was considered "cosmetic" and was not covered under warrantyand also called Nissan's customer care department and was told the same thing. This is not a cosmetic thing, it's a true danger! what is it going to take from Nissan to wake up and do something, someone getting killed!!! to replace the stupid sun visor would be over $400. 00, Nissan should at least give folks a discount who are experiencing this problem. What is the big deal, it would be goodwill and make a lot of happy, safe customers!.

I have a 2006 Nissan Murano and for the past several months the driver side "sun visor" has failed to stay in the up position. This is a serious safety issue as while driving the visor drops down and obstructs the view of the driver! I have been to the dealer and was told that this was a systemic issue on all Nissan Murano's and that they have had literally hundreds of complaints. They told me that it was not under warranty and "should have been a recall item" due to the serious safety risk! they were sympathetic to the issue but unwilling to replace the visor without charge for the part and labor! I have researched this issue and found thousands of complaints related to this visor issue and nothing has been done to fix the problem! since seeing the dealer my daughter had an accident due to the visor dropping into her line of sight causing her to hit the back of another vehicle while approaching an intersection.

This appears to be a common problem with 2003-2007 Muranos.
